Excerpt from Ran's Forthcoming Book - (Untitled)

As many of you know, I'm currently working on my first book. The book is scheduled to be released in a few weeks is an inspirational piece that encourages the reader to question why they are not pursuing their goals. The book consist of a series of quotes, affirmations, exercises, and daily words that one is instructed to read in a random order. This is not day to day reading, its more of read, ponder, execute then read the next page.

Here is a excerpt for your reading pleasures:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Word of the Day
The Word of the Day is “Fear”

Fear is the second leading cause of death for our dreams and success. Fear of the unknown and fear of success seem to be the two main stumbling blocks we face on this journey to our destiny.

Let’s think about “Fear of the Unknown” for a second. Question, if we have a dream we want to achieve and we step in the direction to achieve it, everything before us is unknown…correct? Now wait, if we fear the unknown in front of us, yet everything we want to accomplish lies in front of us, then that means we fear the same thing that motivates us…right? Sounds pretty silly right? Yea it does, so answer this question… “What is the real reason you fear the unknown?” Could it be that you fear failing? Maybe it’s you actually fear the fact that you may actually succeed.

A few of you may be thinking…”Who fears success”? Well you would be surprise how many get to the brink of achieving their life’s goals then pull back. Remember with success comes a whole new set of rules and if one is not mentally prepared, it could be a bit overwhelming. There are plenty examples of successful individuals who elected to bow out instead of embracing what they worked so hard to achieve.

Question, why fear the one thing you're building your goals upon? Yes you are the captain of your ship, but the more successful you are, the more help you can obtain. Bear in mind, success does not mean it’s you against the world. Success does not mean one has to be alone at the top. Will change happen the more successful you are? Yes, but if you were fearful of change, why would you endeavor to do something out of the norm?

As we walk this journey I want you to repeat that age old adage we’ve heard all our lives… “There is nothing to fear, but fear itself.” Don’t let being fearful hinder you from achieving your destiny.

I hope you enjoyed that excerpt and look forward to the book's release by the end of July.

Thank you for reading and feedback is always welcomed
